    pfizer expects to have 50 million doses available by end of 2020 (so, that's 25 million people for a two dose vaccine) and 1.3 billion through 2021. pfizer says it will be free. 
    kinda funny that pfizer were not part of operation warp speed, so dump does not get credit for this, haha
    pence already tweeted credit to trump for it. 
    it doesn't work that way, my dude, haha

    I think it is higher than 40 million...sadly I came across a Canadian Trump supporter today.  It's just ridiculous at this point.

    I live in Southern Illinois right on the Indiana border. Due to testing results taking 6 or more days in Indiana, there are a bunch of Hoosiers crossing the river to get tested here where we have faster turn around times on results and rapid tests available. It has gotten so bad that our county health department is starting to charge $25 for non county residents to get the rapid test.

    So here’s my experience with COVID testing..

    Started feeling shitty with a low grade fever last Tuesday morning. Called doctor same day. Two day wait to get a test. Got tested Thursday morning. Still waiting on test results. Its now been almost a week since the first symptom, and still no idea if I have the virus. Pretty ridiculous.

    Get tested, get tested.... So you can just sit in your house with the kids you pulled out of daycare/school for at least week and go nuts.

    Feeling fine the past two days...

    The two times I ve been tested I got results back within two days.  
    My girlfriend, an educator, went home early from school last Thursday feeling sick.
    8:30 Friday morning got the rapid test with an immediate negative result. But, when they found out she was an educator they gave her the nostril probe. She got that negative result yesterday and is back to work today.
    My wife started to not feel well last week. She is a high school teacher so they gave her the rapid test. It was negative, turns out she had a sinus infection. With Flu and cold season starting, I can't even imagine how many people are going to start get tested due to having symptoms that are similar to COVID. They have already started limiting hours they give tests in our county health department due to the demand and the need to try to conduct contact tracing.

    Definitely not the same....but c'mon, you are seriously condoning that top picture are you?  If you are, we need to open everything back up 100% and just require masks as the only protection.

    Regarding all of the pro-biden gatherings, yes, idiocy doesn't know politics. let's be honest with ourselves: if Pearl Jam were to decide to hold an indoor concert and said "just wear masks", that place would still sell out in an instant, and i can count on one hand how many people on this forum i know right now wouldn't go, but the rest? 
    It is a good question to be fair.  But I would hope that those that went would understand and not be all over the internet bitching about not shutting down places of businesses.

    I think we know that wouldn’t happen. Depending on what sign or flags are being waved determines whether it’s viewed as a super-spreader or a beautiful celebration of democracy. Been there done that during the protests though so the double standard is nothing new.

    It's also one thing for Trump to openly invite people to attend his rallies and downplay mask wearing at them and another for people to organically decide to come out and gather in a way that they feel safe about doing. I am not condoning what happened the other day because there are definitely increased risks with groups that large, even outdoors, but I also don't think it compares to unmasked ceremonies in the WH or packed seating at rallies. We can be critical of both without associating them as similar ignorance and lack of concern for the virus.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I love that movie -- a ridiculous movie, poor adaptation from print, and I love it anyway.
    Sorry the King died.

    LONDON -- Some young children have forgotten how to eat with a knife and fork and others have regressed back into diapers as the coronavirus pandemic and related school closures take a toll on young peoples' learning, the U.K. education watchdog said Tuesday.

    The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills., known as Ofsted, published five reports based on findings from more than 900 visits to education and social care providers across England since September. Some of the children most affected by the disruption of the pandemic were those in their earliest years of education with working parents, who “experienced the double whammy of less time with parents and less time with other children,” chief inspector Amanda Spielman said.

    She said teachers reported some toilet-trained students needing to use diapers again and “others who had forgotten some basic skills they had mastered, such as eating with a knife and fork – not to mention the loss of early progress in words and numbers.”
